Lake Diablo at North Cascades National Park is a wonder to behold. You might think the water is photoshopped, but it is not. That is the actual color or as close as a camera can make it. The water comes from drainage off of over 300 glaciers high up in the mountains and the silt in the water reflected back all light except that light blue or aqua color that you see here. Pretty amazing and a spectacular view in person. North Cascades is only two hours from Seattle and this scene is right off of the road the runs through the park. No long hike to get this view, although I did a wonderful hike to get to the other side of the lake. Unfortunately, there are not many services in the towns near the park as this is one of the least visited of the lower 48 national parks. However, if you can pull off a day trip or overnight somewhere nearby, it is worth it.
